SUSE Virtualization

What is SUSE Virtualization? SUSE Virtualization is a modern, Kubernetes-native alternative to traditional hypervisors. Built on KubeVirt and running directly on bare metal, it enables you to manage virtual machines and integrated storage without the legacy overhead or complex licensing of conventional virtualization platforms. SUSE Virtualization provides full VM lifecycle management, distributed storage, and deep integration with SUSE Rancher Prime. Powered by Kubernetes and KubeVirt under the hood, it delivers a simplified experience - no Kubernetes knowledge required.
